That is so funny! My inlaws was a rescue dog also! Sorta Lol!
He showed up one day in the middle of the winter covered in ice, his tail was a big ball of ice, and his legs. They live a mile up on a hill private driveway with hundreds of acres of woods around them. After he thawed out by the wood stove my mother in law called the number on his tag. Turned out he had came from a house up over the hill threw woods about three miles away on another road. The woman that answered said it was her dad's dog, he just recently died and the family was cleaning out the house to put it up for sale when the dog ran off. The woman asked my mother in law if she liked him and wanted him. She said that her dad's will specifically stated that the dog was to be put to sleep, and they really didn't want to do it but none of them could take the dog. When my mother in law said she would keep him the woman said he was a purebred registered Llewellin Setter and she would mail her the papers. When she was told this my motherinlaw laughed and told the woman that her fathers name was Llewellin and he had just died the year before! I had nor any of us had ever heard of Llewellin Setters before. He was I think around eight yrs. old and one of the nicest well behaved dogs I've ever saw, they had no problems with him, he made himself at home from day one. Being they live a mile from the road they never tie their dogs up, and he never ran off. My mother in law always said she thinks he knew.
